Two successful workshops were held with approximately 50 enthusiastic participants at each. Participants were presented with latest research on river red gums, pointed out noteworthy birds, trees and shrubs.

Commercial biopesticides based on entomopathogenic fungi are expected to be registered for use as microbial biological control of aphids in Australia in the near future.

The native budworm Helicoverpa punctigera is an important pest of field crops in Australia alongside the cotton bollworm Helicoverpa armigera, and both share a number of host plants. H.

This project aims to investigate the cause of and differences in the levels of GHG emissions during sequences of crops and fallows.

The advent of Bt-cotton led to a dramatic decline in insecticide use against Helicoverpa spp. in the Australian cotton industry.

Irrigated cotton production in Australia is predominately (80%) based on furrow irrigation.

The irrigation industry is facing substantial change that is likely to affect the quantity and

timing of water supply, as well as the infrastructure involved in water delivery and use.

Despite the increased adoption of pressurised irrigation systems in recent years, furrow irrigation is and will remain to be the dominant application technique in the Australian cotton industry in the foreseeable futu

Over the last decade, grape growers in SE South Australia have had their water entitlements

The Gwydir Valley Cotton Growers Association (CGA) committee identified the need and the opportunities to extend our information and industry advocacy services to a broader audience of growers and the community.

The Australian cotton industry is a world leader in the production of quality cotton with high levels of water efficiency.

In response to the APVMA regulatory review of diuron, this project was initiated in response for two main purposes.

This project seeks to design, develop and test an integrated measuring tool that can be installed and recovered from the bed of streams and rivers.

Australian irrigators are under increasing pressure to

maintain the viability of their farm businesses in the

face of reduced surface and ground-water allocations;

Water in open channels is subject to high evaporative losses. Some 701 gigalitres of

water is lost annually through evaporation from channels in Northern Victoria.
